<a name="gst-plugins-good-plugins-splitfilesrc.description"></a><h2>Description</h2>
<p>Reads data from multiple files, presenting those files as one continuous
file to downstream elements. This is useful for reading a large file that
had to be split into multiple parts due to filesystem file size limitations,
for example.</p>
<p>The files to select are chosen via the location property, which supports
(and expects) shell-style wildcards (but only for the filename, not for
directories). The results will be sorted.</p>
